Many of these backgrounds represent the class hall but a few are different such as Icecrown for Death Knights, Black Rook Hold for Rogues, Throne of the Elements for Shaman, and Shadowmoon Burial Grounds for Warlocks.

The Legion Alpha is filled with numerous UI additions and improvements, ranging from massive developments like the Wardrobe Transmog tab and revamped Profession UI to effective smaller tweaks like a new Combo Point UI. Below are the major changes we've found - while these are all subject to change as Legion is in very early development, it's a good start.

Transmog Collection and Wardrobe

At the top of the Wardrobe UI, there is a progress bar showing how many appearances for a particular slot you have collected.

The new options shirts, tabards, and weapon illusions are included.

When you acquire a quest item, you receive a message that several appearances have been added to your Wardrobe collection. You can then delete that item and keep the transmog appearance.

At BlizzCon, it was announced that all rewards from quests you'd previously completed would automatically be added to your Wardrobe collection. (This is not implemented yet.)

The actual items included in the transmog UI seemed buggy, so we'll be highlighting what's included at a later time. However, the UI for displaying items is very user-friendly, with image thumbnails of all the various models.

Mousing over an image thumbnail brings up the name of the transmog item, as well as a list of items with the same appearance. Hit tab to cycle through them.

There are options to preview your character wearing the selected gear, and to create and save outfits.

Warlords of Draenor has numerous quality of life changes, ranging from the addition of the Toybox for account-wide vanity items to a new Void Storage tab and a greatly-expanded Group Finder tool!

This guide covers all of the improvements we've noticed in the beta--we've previously covered some in the Alpha, but there have been some changes.

Highlights include:

The new Toybox feature, which allows users to save vanity items to a special Collections tab and free up tons of bag space. These vanity items become account-bound as well.

Players have an additional void storage tab.

New reagents bank and you can craft items keeping the materials in your bank.

Special graphics setting specifically for Raids and Battlegrounds.

New Group Finder tool letting you create groups for various PvE and PvP activities.

Solo queuing for old LFRs and scenarios.

Polearms and staves can be transmogged onto 2H axes, maces, and swords now.
